Share Wi-Fi Without Revealing the Password
Need to share your Wi-Fi connection without disclosing the password? Android has a simple solution: QR codes. Instead of telling others your password, you can share access via a QR code, which they can scan and instantly connect to the network.

To share your Wi-Fi using a QR code, head to Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Current Network and select the QR code option. The steps may vary slightly depending on your device model.


Translate Text On the Go
Google has made text translation even easier on Android devices. Instead of switching between apps, you can now translate text directly from within your favorite app. Simply highlight the text you want to translate, and from the pop-up menu, choose the translation option.

For new languages, you may need to download a language pack the first time, but after that, the translation works seamlessly across all third-party apps and websites.
